Today, as I walked around town I noticed some guys and even a couple of girls checked me out. When I got home later I realized they probably weren't checking me out, so much as wondering why the hell I had thick black eyeliner on only one eye. Oops. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was getting funny looks all day. When I got home I realised that I was interrupted while doing my make-up this morning and completely forgot to fill in my second eye brow. FML
Today, I asked my kids if I looked good before going to work. Smiling, they told me I looked wonderful. It wasn't until I got to work and looked into the mirror until I noticed my left eyebrow was gone. FML
Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML
Today, while taking the bus home, a girl stared at me for a while before asking me if I'd ever heard of makeup. FML
Today, feeling social, I went to a bar. During a trip to the dimly lit restroom, I fixed my makeup, and carefully penciling my sparse eyebrows. After an evening of meeting new people, I went home. In my well-lighted restroom, I discovered that my eyebrow pencil was actually my bright red lip liner. FML
Today, I was coming out of my work and a group of guys yelled, "Oh shoot girl!" and I blew them a kiss jokingly, then as I walked down the street, cars were honking at me, guys whistling. When I got home I noticed the foot long rip down my pencil skirt. FML
Today, I woke up after a long night of partying. When I went to wash off my face, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My missing tooth was almost enough to make me overlook my black eye. FML
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML
Today, I went to the mall with my mom. We were in American Eagle shopping for spring clothes, when a few good looking guys walked by and whistled at me. I smiled at them. They were checking out my mom, not me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't even know how this happens! I mean I've done the whole "shaved one leg and then absentmindedly got out of the shower" But this is much different! For future reference, I'd try to check the mirror at least once before leaving the house OP :)

I've never been there. look in the mirror before you leave the house next time.

I've never done this either. I don't understand how someone could forget and only do 1 eye without realizing it. Mirrors people

iv never left the house with only one eye done but I have left with other predicaments and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it so why not own it and be fabulous

Could easily happen especially if you have kids that constantly interrupt you. Never happened to you? Good for you. What do you want, a cookie? Everyone has absent minded episodes.

Lol, definitely better than having bird poo on your head of massive period stains. I bet you it looked like a new trend anyway :)

Why is this down voted?

I don't understand why op didn't try and find a bathroom or mirror or something while she was out to see that everything was ok. Maybe it's just me, but if I notice everyone staring at me (especially with a weird look on their face or laughing while they looked; cause there's a difference between a "wow you're hot" look and a "why did she do that/that's weird" look) then I would immediately assume that something was off and I had something weird on me. I would get to a mirror just to double check that everything was in place.

**** it, and **** em'. I am sure you're good looking enough to have them checking you out anyway. :)

I have shoes that are the same style but one pair is brown and the other is tan. I once wore one tan one and one brown one to school. It happens! Also, I'm sure you didn't look half bad. :) No pun intended!

Haha I'm sure I've done this too! Or I've rubbed my eyes and smudged up one eye while the other eye has the perfect wing.

Clockwork Orange cosplay.

All that's missing are the off-white coveralls and bowler!

well, beat me to it, although Clockwork orange was more a mix of one sided liner and exaggerated fake eyelashes.

It was too much for someone to tell you apparently

Actually that sounds like it'd look pretty cool. Still, sorry for your embarrassment. If you do it on purpose another time, it'll help because then you can pretend other people that you did it on purpose last time, too.
